The Nature of Scotland
Landscape, Wildlife and People
edited by Magnus Magnusson and Graham White

"The finest single book on Scotland.... The pictures are absolutely outstanding." - Tom Weir

This book celebrates Scotland's glorious natural heritage and inspires those who read it to become guardians of the land.

Starting with the creation of the rocks , the land's very foundations, the book describes Scotland's violent birth, the slow retreat of the massive glaciers, the tale of the first hunter who followed the ice and the farmers who came soon after, clearing the forests and transforming the face of the land.

Other major forces which have transformed the landscape and affected the native plants, birds and animals are discussed: the growth of transport; the creation of a giant power industry; and the growth of mass tourism.

Over 200 color photographs by some of Scotland's finest wildlife and landscape photographers illustrate the text. They depict the beauty of wild creatures which few of us ever see in their true habitat among the mountains, islands, sea lochs and forests.
